Millions miss a meal or two each day. Help us change that! Click to donate today! Exodus 35:1-35 - Exodus 40:1-38. The remainder of the narrative sets forth in terms almost identical with the directions already given, the manner in which the Divine injunctions were obeyed. The people, purified in heart by danger, chastisement and shame, brought much more than was required. A quarter of a million would poorly represent the value of the shrine in which, at the last, Moses and Aaron approached their God, while the cloud covered the tent and the glory filled the tabernacle, and Moses failed to overcome his awe and enter. Thenceforth the cloud was the guide of their halting and their march. Many a time they grieved their God in the wilderness, yet the cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, throughout all their journeyings. That cloud is seen no longer; but One has said, "Lo, I am with you all the days." If the presence is less material, it is because we ought to be more spiritual.

Since 2009, Bowel Cancer Australia has been mapping bowel cancer data from the most current sources of information publicly available. Updated annually, the Atlas provides data at the Local Government Area (LGA) level, state and territory level, and at a national level, to help identify unhealthy behaviours that can be improved to reduce bowel cancer risk. According to the American Cancer Society, almost 55% of bowel cancer cases may be attributable to modifiable risk factors such as smoking, high alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity. Obesity and type 2 diabetes also increase bowel cancer risk. Detailed data regarding participation rates in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) such as age, gender and positive results are also included.

Viewpoint by Cameron Kaiser, MD, Medical Consultant for Tuberculosis, Riverside County Department of Public Health, California and guest WGND blogger. Antibiotics are, to the typical patient, always the quick fix. Despite our best attempts to convince them that their viral bronchitis will get better without that course of amoxicillin, anyone who has worked a primary care clinic knows the pressure to throw antibiotics at the problem, even when we ourselves know it’s not the answer, because our patients perceive it as the fast track to health. A couple weeks, they reason, and the infection is over. Normalcy ought to resume. Then you tell them they have tuberculosis, and “normalcy” is at least six months away, if everything goes according to plan. And tuberculosis is a wily enough contender to make sure everything won’t. In our county in southern California, where the majority of tuberculosis cases are followed by our public health department, I personally as the treating physician am well acquainted with this d

In Part 3 of his Mahasivaratri talk for 2002, Bodhinatha quotes from Living with Siva on "the mission of the mission." A dynamic band of devas in the inner worlds guides and assists our monastic order, and it has been building up and guiding our lineage from its very beginning over 2,000 years ago. Bodhinatha goes on to talk about the importance of realizing the Self as a daily practice for the monks, about the Saiva Swami Sangam, its mission and way of working together, its vows, ideals, service and sadhana. He also welcomes two new yogis. Bodhinatha ends by saying that now is the time to realize the Self. Don't put it off! There is a wonderful 'Living with Siva' lesson which talks about Parasiva. It came out some time in the last few days. I thought I would read it. It is called 'The mission of the Mission'. "A legacy of devas from the entire parampara accompanies our monastic order, providing silent, unseen inner guidance and protection for old and young alike. As long as at least one person within the ent

One in five cases of ESG risks linked to greenwashing One in every five cases of corporate risk incidents linked to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues stems from greenwashing and misleading communications, new research has found. RepRisk, a leading ESG data science firm, analysed ESG risk incidents, ranging from a potential violation by a company or specific project of global standards and frameworks. RepRisk found that, over a two-year period, one in every five of these risks was linked to greenwash. Lobbying and offsetting were identified as two of the major contributors to cases of greenwashing. While the role of offsets and potential greenwashing side effects are well documented, lobbying is much harder to uncover and isn’t often included in self-disclosure. RepRisk also found that in the food and beverage sector, greenwash is linked to one in every three risk incidents. There are numerous high-profile examples in this sector including Innocent Drinks, and Coca-Cola and Unilever. RepRisk no

In chemistry, a substrate is typically the chemical species being observed in a chemical reaction, which reacts with a reagent to generate a product. It can also refer to a surface on which other chemical reactions are performed, or play a supporting role in a variety of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. In synthetic and organic chemistry, the substrate is the chemical of interest that is being modified. In biochemistry, an enzyme substrate is the material upon which an enzyme acts. When referring to Le Chatelier's principle, the substrate is the reagent whose concentration is changed. The term substrate is highly context-dependent. In three of the most common nano-scale microscopy techniques, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a substrate is required for sample mounting. Substrates are often thin and relatively free of chemical features or defects. Typically silver, gold, or silicon wafers are used due to their ease of manuf

The gates of hell open to visitors The Gate of Hell (Plutonium), which was discovered in 2013 by the Italian excavation team in Pamukkale, one of Türkiye’s UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, has been opened for visitors. Plutonium, called “gateway to the land of the dead” in ancient sources, began to welcome hundreds of local and foreign tourists from day one. Located in the ancient city of Hierapolis in Pamukkale, one of Türkiye’s most important cultural heritages, Plutonium was opened for short-term visits in 2018 during ongoing restoration works, but later visitors have again been banned. The Gates of Hell is set to officially open to visitors in September. Thanks to modern science, the mystery of the door was solved during the examinations. It was reported that the animals, sent to the cave during the sacred ceremonies held in ancient times at the Gate of Hell, died from the effect of carbon dioxide. In the ancient city of Hierapolis, which was founded by King Eumenes II of Pergamum in the 2nd century

Living from Your Heart Dr. Steinbaum calls her philosophy of preventing heart disease “living from your heart.” When she speaks, her belief in her patients’ ability to transform their lives is palpable. “Doing what is best for you, eating what feels best for you, exercising, living with passion, living with purpose—that is what living from the heart is all about,” she says. “And ultimately that is the way to be the most heart healthy.” She advises her patients, “Live from your heart and everything else will be fine.” To help her patients become more aware of who they are and what they need to feel healthy, Dr. Steinbaum leads them in an exercise called “journaling their lives.” “When people get caught in a minutia of their own existence, it’s unhealthy, so I try to get people to step outside of themselves and to understand what they are living for,” she says. “For instance, a woman might feel motivated to lose weight so she can enjoy playing with her grandchildren.” Later on, feeling good itself is enough mot

Stylist, salon owner, educator, innovator and maker Paul Brown died July 7 in San Francisco after battling cancer. He was the owner of Paul Brown salons in Hawaii and the founder of the Paul Brown Hawaii hair care company. He was 74 years old. For decades, if you attended a professional beauty salon and saw attendees walking around wearing leis made from dark brown Kukui nuts, you could bet Paul Brown was just around the corner to bestow them all. those who came to say hello. Brown opened his first hair salon in Honolulu in 1971 and made his mark in the industry with a revolutionary heat straightening system and flat iron. With the success of her salons, Brown recognized the need for a unique professional hair care product system that would incorporate the naturally grown organic botanicals of Hawaii to help clients of all cultures. Combining love of Hawaii with beauty By the late 1980s, Brown had founded the successful international hair care products company that bears his name, Paul Brown Hawaii. Inspired

New York, NY – The Universal Hip Hop Museum has finally found its home in the South Bronx. As reported by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday (December 23), the Bronx Point project, which includes the museum, will be getting a nice $349 million in financing to begin construction next month at a former industrial site in the South Bronx. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a global shutdown, plans for the Bronx Point project stalled and the owners experienced several delays. However, the owners and their partners are getting the project back on its feet. Financing for the mixed-used development plan arrives next week and the entire project will receive $238 million in city bonds and funding. Additional money will be piling in from state grants, equity from developers and federal tax credits from Wells Fargo & Co. View this post on Instagram Rocky Bucano, the executive director of the Universal Hip Hop Museum, spent nine years trying to find a spot to showcase Hip Hop’s history and he is finally able to get t

One thing Bradley County is famous for is the Pink Tomato Festival. It’s been going on for 59 years and that makes it one of the longest running festivals in the state of Arkansas. There’s quite a bit of history behind it too. Farmers in Bradley County have been raising tomatoes for sale since the 1920s. They chose a variety of tomato that would ship well if picked when the tops of the fruit just barely turned pink. In 1956, a group of Warren merchants decided to host an event to celebrate the tomato industry and to help promote business in the area. The Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival was born. It has since become a major summertime event! Since that first celebration in 1956, the festival has evolved into one of the most well known and respected events in Arkansas. Many people have contributed to the success of the annual event, from those present at that first celebration to the dedicated volunteers today. The Festival Parade and Pink Tomato Beauty Pageants were added in 1957. The All-Tomato Luncheon a

The fight against fossil fuels is sweeping the state of Montana — and those protesting new infrastructure for coal and oil production aren't quite your usual suspects. Environmentalist groups are being joined by cowboys, farmers, and Native American tribes in efforts to stymie ventures they say threaten to be disastrous for the state. Right now, that informal alliance is largely focused on pushing back against Canada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would siphon crude oil from up north all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Advocates for the project say it would generate jobs and vital revenue for the state, but as Al Jazeera America explores, local concerns are growing. Largely, the opposition contends, residents of the state would face most of the risks — including major spills — without reaping much economic benefit. It's a perfect illustration of the emerging, sprawling fossil-fuel resistance," said activist Bill McKibben. "It's necessarily centered in local concerns."

Several researchers conducted studies to demonstrate the use of fluoro- and chromogenic chemodosimeters for heavy metal ion detection in solution and biospecimens. They demonstrated that fluorescent chemodosimeters had emerged as as a research area of significant importance due to their potential in detecting heavy metal ions in solution and biospecimens. Chemodosimeters were used to detect an analyte through a highly selective and irreversible chemical reaction between the dosimeter molecule and the target analyte. This led to an observable signal that had an accumulative effect and was directly related to the concentration of the analyte. The chemodosimeter also provided signaling changes in absorption wavelength and color that were widely used as detection events, as they required only the use of cost-effective equipment or no equipment in some cases.

Crisis during Negotiation of an Agreement Whether clients are married or cohabiting, separation is an emotional and often stressful time. Once the terms of an agreement have been reached on how the negotiations will proceed -collaborative approach, mediation, or traditional negotiations – from there it’s a matter of gathering all the relevant documentation to prove ownership and value. What happens when one spouse or partner unexpectedly dies before an agreement has been signed? This blog will offer a few considerations and in no way is this material to be considered comprehensive legal advice. Time to Grieve The law often imposes harsh deadlines to encourage decisions to be made quickly. Often these short term deadlines take advantage of recent memories, discourage litigation, and attempt to preserve evidence. Family-related legislation recognizes that personal relationship while having an economic likeness to commercial legislation, need to be respected given their natural emotional component. It provides a

In my designs, I tend to use floats, as opposed to relative/absolute positioning, as I find it gives a design more power and a greater ability to scale vertically. When I first approached CSS I couldn’t for the life of me understand how floats worked. My main struggle was trying to comprehend why floating something to the left or right led to so many other items being disrupted and not being cleared. Then one day, on a forum, someone explained floats very simply and suddenly, I understood. Floating an item affects the other items around it more so than the floated item. So if you make an image float: right then what you are really doing is floating every else to the left and under the image. Hence why items don’t clear unless you specify them to as they are floating up next to the image. Usually, floats are explained as being taken out fo the document flow – which meant nothing to me and sounded like gibberish when I was learning CSS. Once you begin floating items, you will end up floating everything. If you

âYou have to trust the information to make the right choice,â Chumbley said, pointing out that architects and golf course superintendents often try to create visual confusion with blurry transitions, false facades and the like. techniques. So what does a golf course look like through the PRIZM Golf and PRIZM Golf Dark lenses? First of all, as all golfers know, golf is played in a predominantly green landscape. Lenses work primarily to reduce dominant green tones and amplify colors adjacent to green. Among other effects, this amplifies the white of the golf ball, allowing golfers to better follow it against the background of the course and the sky. In contrast, a traditional lens is very flat with no amplified colors and little color separation. By creating peaks and valleys across the spectrum and color separation, PRIZM Golf lenses are able to provide more beneficial information to the eyes of golfers. PRIZM Golf vs PRIZM Golf Dark: What’s different between the two? To take it a step further, Oakley has two

5 pounds 2004 Great Britain Mallard - The record breaker Handpainted Commemorative Gold coin cover 100 limited edition Mallard took her carriages through Grantham station at just 24mph because of permanent way work, and then accelerated to almost 60mph over the next two and a half miles up a rising gradient of 1 in 200, eventually reaching almost 75mph over the next mile-and-a-half to Stoke summit, again over a further stretch at 1 in 200. Descending Stoke Bank, the speed rose to 116mph, and then to 119mph, and then crossed the 120mph mark where it stayed for the next three miles, reaching a maximum of 126mph. The locomotive maintained a speed of between 123mph and 126mph for nearly two miles. The record-breaking run was then curtailed as the opportunity was taken to conduct a brake test from such a high speed and the train was approaching the curve at Essendine, which also included several sets of points, and it was thought unwise to take these at such a high speed.

Surgery is usually the first stage of breast cancer treatment. The aim of surgery is to remove the cancer cells from the breast. The cancer (tumour) is then sent to a pathologist who will develop a pathology report. This will help your medical team to decide the best treatment options for you. For more information about this, visit the pathology page of this website. The two main types of breast cancer surgery are: - Breast conserving surgery (also called lumpectomy, partial mastectomy or wide local excision). This involves the removal of the part of the breast affected by the cancer; and - Mastectomy. This involves the total removal of one or both breasts. In most cases, breast cancer surgery also involves the removal of one or more lymph nodes from the armpit (axilla). For more information on this, please read the section on types of surgery. In some instances, especially if you have a large tumour, chemotherapy or hormone therapy may be recommended before you have surgery. This will help to shrink the tumo

Name: Tamiya 24194 1/24 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hard Top. During the 1960s, the Japanese racing scene was striving to catch up with high performance racing machines of European origin. One manufacturer called Prince developed the first Japanese prototype racing machine, named the R380. With a powerful-in-line six cylinder DOHC engine mounted amidships under a low and sleek body, the R380 won the 1996 Japanese Grand Prix race event and established several world speed records in the following year. The Prince company merged with Nissan, and unveiled a special 4-door sedan Skyline model during the 1968 Tokyo Motor Show. Priced at almost double that of other Skylines in the stable, it was transplanted with a de-tuned powerplant of the R380 racers unit. This hot-blooded Skyline was launched into the market in February 1969, under the designation of GT-R. The 1,989cc DOHC 6-cylinder S20 type engine yielded 160hp of maximum output. In October 1970, the original 4-door sedan GT-R was replaced with a more sporty, 2-d

How “Wood” You Like It? Recognizing and realizing the full potential of one of nature’s most wondrous materials In addition to being a fundamental ingredient to how homes are built and hold themselves up, wood brings an enormous amount of expression and character into a home. It can be rustic, it can be modern, and it can be both at the same time. It can be something textured in a clean environment or conversely, something chic in a traditional environment. Most people notice and appreciate wood, but don’t fully realize the amount of thought and craftsmanship that goes into creating elements that add so much to a home’s design—there is a subtlety to its contribution. With that in mind, here are four things I think about in my work as an architect and designer when it comes to designing with wood. A piece of wood goes through many steps by the time it’s in your home. Generally, each step makes it squarer, smoother, and more refined. But when you are processing wood, you can stop at any moment and emphasize the

Stories from Prison Posted in News Story “They’re my squad,” she told the class as she presented Elvin Johnson, Ricky Bryant, and William Lawson. The men were also her former students, but at a very different institution. The trio had all been inmates at one time or another at the now-shuttered District of Columbia correctional facility in Lorton, Virginia. All had served decades in prison for a variety of offenses, mostly stemming from drug and alcohol abuse. Before the men met O’Connor, who is also founder of Georgetown’s Prison Outreach Program, they had hardly written a page of text. The men were all products of the DC Public Schools system during their formative years in the 1970s and 1980s. The school district was not only plagued by a lack of resources and management, but it was also struggling with ongoing issues of race and poverty. Back then, you merely had to show up to pass, and sometimes you didn’t even have to do that. But after taking classes with O’Connor at Lorton, the men saw a change in the

Trademark is one of the ways in the form of words, marks, or taglines to show your products or services to the general public uniquely and effectively. Trademark is also a way to advertise your product cost-effectively. When you give a name or identity to your products, it could be in any form of image, letter, slogan, or combination of colors. But the problems to manage the trademark arise when another entity starts using your trademark without seeking your permission. This is regarded as trademark infringement. As we all know that we are living in the country which comes at place number 2 in terms of population, so keeping check who else is using our trademark seems to be quite difficult, moreover when other people using the somebody's else trademark then they tweak in the existing trademark to use it in their own business so that on the face it is little difficult to oppose the trademark.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - It's been suggested that Mohs surgery for non-melanoma skin cancer in patients with limited life expectancy may be associated with needless risk and discomfort. But a new study finds that untreated skin cancer in the elderly may be associated with functional loss, pain and disfigurement. The research team studied 1,181 patients older than age 85 years who were referred for Mohs surgery. The vast majority (91.3%) had the surgery, with only 8.7% receiving an alternative treatment. Patients receiving Mohs surgery were more likely to have tumors on the face (68.5% vs. 25.2%; P<0.001) and nearly four-fold more likely to have high functional status (57.0% vs. 15.5%; P<0.001). The three most common reasons cited by surgeons for opting to proceed with Mohs surgery in patients age 85+ were patient desire for treatment with a high cure rate (66.0%), good or excellent patient functional status for age (57.0%), and high risk associated with the tumor based on histology (40.2%).

How Seniors Can Elevate Their Mood You know the old saying, “We are what we eat.” We all know that doesn’t literally mean we could turn into jelly donuts after we eat them. It does mean our middles can look like a donut and jiggle like jelly if we overindulge too often. And that doesn’t make anyone feel physically and mentally healthy, especially older adults. So if seniors eat lots of carrot and celery sticks, they’ll stay skinny and chipper? Well, sort of. But physical and mental health are tied together for sure. Certain foods can improve seniors’ overall mood; a positive mood equates to a lower risk of depression and anxiety. Happier, healthier older adults are more inclined to have more energy to do things like exercise. And when they feel better, they’re incentivized to keep eating better. Here are some activities and tips for seniors to boost their mood, along with ways nutrition can help seniors boost their mood and energy. Activities to boost seniors’ mood - Exercising regularly.

By Anu Hosangadi Liver Cancer Connect’s “Fighting the Doom and Gloom” series is highlighting some of the advances in prevention, screening, and treatment that are helping to increase survival among people with liver cancer. Previously, we talked about how prevention works. Now we’ll explain how screening and surveillance save lives. Why Are Screening and Surveillance So Important? Screening and surveillance (regular monitoring) for liver cancer help detect the cancer early. Early detection is one of the most effective ways to improve treatment success and survival rates. Screening refers to the first test to detect cancer or an increased risk for cancer. Surveillance refers to the regular testing or monitoring that is done after the first screening test. Surveillance in people with risk factors for liver cancer can help detect liver cancer before symptoms occur and while the tumor is small and can be surgically removed. This greatly increases the survival rate. Who Needs Liver Cancer Screening? The American A

Land affordability continues to be a key challenge in Kenya given the current high cost of funding and unavailability of financing, amid rising property prices. As a result, one-third of the public sector and urban wage earners live in rented and inadequate housing. This scenario extends to commercial property ownership where SMEs operate from. According to land dealers at Zerohero Properties Limited, buying land remains the ideal decision for SMEs, listing numerous advantages. “SMEs hold the potential of expanding as their business expands and this necessitates a holding land space that is cheaper to maintain, therefore, buying land earlier as a long-term strategy is a wise and good idea; The land is a valuable resource even in a business as it does offer self-financing through banks for boosting business capital,” notes Joseph Kinyua, the director Zerohero Properties Limited. “Again land purchased earlier attracts less price and it appreciates with time. In case of economic/business recession, purchased lan

JUNE 16, 2015, CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea – Social media in the military can be a daily struggle from operational security to keeping your personal information safe. There are many ways for you to fail when it comes to social media, but we have Soldiers in the Army who know what you need to combat hackers and keep your personal information safe. Maj. Dave Richards, the signal communications officer for the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, knows exactly how you can protect your accounts and keep you from giving away tactical information. “If you are going to have a social media account, why not have a MilBook,” Richards said. MilBook is a site you can access through AKO to connect with other military professionals online. Richards said it is a much safer platform because it is secure and has a firewall for protection. If you must have another social media account be sure to keep your username and password safe. “The problem with randomly generated passwords is that people easily forget them,” Richards said. “You

California’s Lincoln Memorial…and more! Visited: October 2017 No score and three days ago, and dedicated to the proposition that all museums are created equal, I donned my stovepipe hat and traveled out to Redlands to check out the only museum west of the Mississippi River devoted to Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War; The Lincoln Memorial Shrine. Honestly! While there, I discovered two additional architectural points of interest located within walking distance of the museum that also piqued my curiosity. My kind of day! First the Lincoln Memorial Shrine. Why Redlands? I’m glad you asked, because it’s a rather fascinating story. Robert Watchorn grew up very poor in England, so poor that by the time he reached 11 years of age he was working 18 hour shifts in the coal mines at a rate of 27 cents a day. After moving to the United States in 1880, while working in Pennsylvania’s coal mines he gained an admiration for Lincoln and what our 16th president stood for. At the same time Watchorn “organized a night school

Here’s a quick tip…want to find out the exact number of actuation’s (aka the shutter count) on your Nikon DSLR? Well, here is a simple way using Photoshop CS3. The information is only viewable in RAW files so open your latest one and go to ‘File’ then ‘File Info’ and click the tabs as per the image below. Viola! Use a different version of Photoshop? Or want to use other software? lets have a quick look at those options too… CS2 and CS4 work in the same way as CS3, although the file structure may be slightly different for 4. The folder you are looking for has the same name though regardless, as per the image below taken from CS4 on a Mac. Don’t have photoshop? Well that’s ok too. There is plenty of software that’s available to read the full EXIF data, one popular one (that’s also free) is Opanda IExif. As mentioned in the reply below from Pete, Opanda may not be completley accurate with Nikon bodies, especially if you shoot JPEG + RAW using dual cards on the D3. I try to set my naming convention in camera so i

The largest cities in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada are currently leading the world when it comes to rental growth in the Prime areas, Knight Frank research shows. After the pandemic-induced lull rents have bounced back annually by a huge 38.5% in New York, followed by London at 26.4% and Toronto at 17.2%. In New York rents have jumped by 10.6% in the past three months alone. In London that figure stands at a more moderate 3.6%. In 2020 all three cities saw tenants depart, causing rents to fall. Many have now returned following the lifting of covid restrictions and the reopening of businesses, while there’s a rental shortage stock caused by a sales boom which has motivated some landlords to cash in. Indeed, in London there’s been a 72.7% decline in rental listings in Prime London annually. Following this rapid period of rental growth, rental inflation is expected to cool rapidly over the rest of 2022 now rents have reached pre-pandemic levels and economic growth has stuttered. However Toronto m

Perhaps you have encountered some strange mammals in the zoo, including a quite recognizable species that looks like a hybrid of a lion and a tiger. If so, then what you may have witnessed is a liger or a ligress, a mixed breed offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. At first, they may be thought of as absurd or another experiment of cross-breeding. But in reality, ligers actually exist, and they can be found in zoos. But how are ligers different from tigers? They may have come from the same genetic breed, but as ligers are mixed with lion DNA, they sure have their differences. So, what are the features that differentiate the liger vs the tiger? In this article, we will take a deep dive into the attributes that set each wild cat apart. Comparing a Liger and a Tiger |Size and Weight||– largest known cats in the world; measures 9.8 to 11.8 ft long (3 to 3.6 m) and weighs up to 900 pounds||– relatively smaller; measures 8 to 11 ft (98 to 154 in) and weighs up to 660 pounds| |Appearance||– golden colored wit

Enhancement of gaming experience and performance through an ergonomically designed console chair Gokongwei College of Engineering Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Posture has an important role in mobility, breathing, muscle efficiency, and injury prevention for any human activity, including console gaming. Proper posture allows players to minimize the work muscles needed to exert while playing, thus allowing them to play for longer durations of time without much discomfort. One of the key features of proper posture is correct positioning of the shoulder blades, which is affected by the position of the thoracic spine. This study involves the construction of an ergonomic console chair dedicated to a specific demographic in order to improve the posture and comfort that experience while playing, with its dimensions being based specifically on the average Filipino male workers body measurements. One design the researchers proposed incorporated an under

— Freya Wilson If a commonly used item passed from person to person everyday around the world was found to carry potential harmful microbes, would you continue to use it? Dr Jun Li from the University of Hong Kong and his colleagues have been investigating the bacterial community present on banknotes, recently published in Frontiers in Microbiology. Due to the global public health concern of antibiotic resistance, Dr Li and his team realized the importance of investigating how microbes are passed between humans and how antibiotic resistance can be spread around the world. To do this, bacteria were scraped from the surface of banknotes collected from hospitals and metro stations around Hong Kong in areas of varying population density and grown in the lab to determine the bacterial presence. Despite doubt as to whether microbes can even survive on banknotes, the researchers found that the banknotes offer an environment that can, indeed, accommodate living bacteria. Over one third of the bacteria identified on t

New cheese plant brings economic boost to Sorel-Tracy and local Quebec dairy producers Food in Canada StaffBusiness Operations The federal government is making an investment of up to $5 million to help Fromageries Bel Canada build the first Mini Babybel plant in Canada in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. Mini Babybel cheese was previously made in the European Union or the United States, using non-Canadian dairy. Now, it will be made in Sorel- Tracy, using 100% locally-sourced milk. The investment, provided through the AgriInnovate program, supported plant construction and the introduction of new technologies like moulding lines, waxing and a quality control system. The plant is expected to increase demand for Canadian dairy by 39 million liters annually and create over 140 full-time jobs in the Sorel-Tracy area. “Bel Canada is a great story of foreign investment and knowledge transfer has made it possible to grow and market their cheeses, which are already very popular, but now made with our own milk. In doing so, their m

What happens when you, or some of your colleagues, accidentally get injured while going for a work break, or lunch? Are you eligible for workers compensation? What does workers compensation mean? What are the exceptions to this rule? Complexities can arise in certain cases, including those that involve injuries that happen off the clock, or during a break. Workers compensation is an insurance program that covers employees who sustain injuries on the job or develop illnesses related to the job. Most employers are required to carry workers compensation insurance, which helps employees who have sustained a work-related injury recover lost wages and other accommodations. The types of injuries compensate under worker’s comp are those which can be connected in some way to an employment requirement. Requirements for Coverage If you are seeking workers compensation benefits, you will have to show that your injury or illness is work-related. If you were doing something for the benefit of your employer, and you were in

When can babies eat feta cheese? It is best to wait until after your baby’s first birthday to serve feta cheese as it is extremely high in sodium. The best cheeses for babies under 12 months of age are fresh mozzarella, fresh ricotta, goat cheese, mascarpone, and Swiss cheese. What Cheese Can I Give My 8 month old?

Turkey’s always-complex zigzags between its Western allies and their respective strategic rivals are more than notorious. Russia is a case in point. A year ago Turkey and Russia were on the brink of war over Syria. Today they are in a courtship that may include critical defense and procurement cooperation. The following items come courtesy of Newsweek, The Washington Post and US News and World Report. They have appeared within the last several days and are representative of the media coverage regarding NATO and Russia. The first, from Newsweek (link below), comes from the right-wing Heritage Foundation’s Nolan Peterson who, for his work covering the Ukrainian civil war, was given an award by the US Embassy in Kiev by Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt. Just ahead of the U.S. presidential elections, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be pushing his conflict with the West to new heights… Officials in Finland, Sweden and Norway are concerned about what have become almost routine acts of Russian aggression, how t

Acrylic was created to attain glass-like clarity while being robust enough to withstand tremendous pressure. Acrylic pipes can tolerate temperatures as high as 160°F. Acrylic is a popular material for manufacturing bongs because of its low cost, along with its thermal qualities, adaptability, sturdiness, and clarity. Acrylic pipes are excellent for getting the most bang for your buck. Acrylic pipes are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for the best smoking experience at a low cost. Consider the benefits of acrylic pipes over other sorts of pipes, and you’ll notice that acrylic pipes outperform other types of pipes in various ways. Acrylic may be molded into many different shapes and colors, allowing for a vast range of aesthetic possibilities. But the most critical question that arises is, are they safe to smoke from? Read on to find out more. What is Acrylic? Plexiglass is another name for acrylic, which is transparent plastic. It’s comparable to polycarbonate, but it’s less poisonous, making it better f

Obesity has always been connected with a lot of persistent diseases, consisting of heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, apnoea, osteo arthritis, anxiety and also even some cancers cells. At the same time, there are currently a great deal of misleading insurance claims regarding weight reduction in the media, encouraging us that everything from asai berries to expensive food supplements is the secret ways to attain slimness. However as a matter of fact, there is no fast way to reduce weight. Weight loss needs a well-informed effort to transform your behaviors and way of life. The word “diet” is merely misleading; diet plans do not actually work. They can help to drop weight for some time, yet after they are ended up, individuals gain weight and commonly much more than previously. Naturally, a preferred diet regimen of trembles or prescription weight-loss medication can aid you slim down rapidly, yet what takes place after the diet regimen mores than? Is it possible to remain on a shake diet regimen

Recently my son and I went on a 3-day pilgrimage to Selma and Montgomery. We were part of a small, diverse group of clergy leaders from Jacksonville. This gracious group welcomed my son, who joined us everywhere, including in the sacred circle of listening and sharing we formed upon arrival and which we returned to throughout our journey. This was a time of challenge, discomfort, grief, and angst. It was also a time of great hope as we committed to one another to continue meeting, sharing, and growing. As one participant stated: “For me this is not a ‘one and done’.” Pictured here is my son in a park at the edge of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which memorializes victims of lynching. Ida B. Wells has described lynching as our national crime. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she reported courageously on crimes of lynching, providing essential documentation for executions that might not otherwise be traceable. My hometown of Jacksonville, FL continues to do the work of identifying, rese

Are you an International Student? Whether you are an EU national or a Non-EU citizen, deciding that you want to study in the UK is a big decision. But with some of the best Universities in the world, we can see the attraction when it comes to education in the UK. But there is a lot of planning and organisation needed to prepare yourself for the big move. Some more important than others and some you’ll need to do in a specific order. First of all how are you going to pay? If you're an EU national you could be eligible for Student Finance in the UK. (which will cover your tuition fees and living costs (when you’re an undergraduate). However if you’re a Non-EU national you won't be eligible. And normally international students will end up paying more for their degree. Yearly tuition fees can be from £10,500 and anything up to £33,000. These fees will have to be paid upfront. If the idea of a University degree from the UK is sounding a bit too pricey, there are other options… Exchange programmes - Enroll at a Uni

ADHD is a neurological condition people are born with and it often runs in families. It seems likely that 5% of the population has ADHD, which means in the UK there are some 3,5 million people living with it, most of them not realising they have it. If you have it, you are born with it, which means your symptoms will have been there from a very young age. Not all children with ADHD get diagnosed as such, so often the diagnosis gets delayed until someone is an adult. It is not caused by bad parenting or eating too much sugar or junk food or playing videogames all the time. This is a functional MRI scan, which shows that the brain of the person with ADHD looks quite different from the one who hasn’t: One researcher (Dr M. Hoogman) from the Radboud University in Holland, who carried out a large study with 81 other international researchers, was quoted in Science Daily (feb 16, 2017) as stating: - "The results from our study confirm that people with ADHD have differences in their brain structure and therefore sug

What is the one thing that makes the difference in every relationship without fail. What is the one thing that if not done will always cause problems. What is the one thing that will always create happiness? There is one thing, and in all the coaching sessions I have ever done where someone is not happy with their relationship or their life, this one thing has always been the cause. - The inability to live by what they say is important to them. If anyone sets themselves a standard and they don’t live by that standard they will always be unhappy, without fail, every time! The reason people don’t live to their highest standards is because they are fearful that something bad will happen to them if they do. The trouble is they are not consciously aware of all this going on so they carry on hurting themselves. In some cases they have the ability to make sure they stay stuck in this poor standard of living by saying this is just how I am. Are you living life to your highest standards? An example: We all believe tha

1st Edition - 12th October 2013 This 186-page booklet has been for me, its compiler, a "labour of love". The inspiration to take an in-depth interest in The Poem began to surface in 1992. As I read The Poem, certain themes began to occur to me, and after 6 years of careful reading, indexing, Biblical research, cross-indexing, discussion and prayer - and amidst much excitement and joy - the first edition of this booklet slowly came into being. During its continuing development, it has proved to be a very useful resource: for me, in activities conducted on behalf of the Maria Valtorta Readers' Group, a mailing and e-mailing organisation of hundreds of members, and for others, both religious and laity alike, scattered over Australia and around the world. David D. Murray The WHERE IS IT? GUIDE consists of two main sections: The Indices Index (Section 1, pp. 11-114) The Scriptural Cross-Referencing (Section 2, pp. 115-176) The Indices Section now has four parts: • A list of towns and localities alphabetically and

In April 2016, Clemson students organized a peaceful nine-day protest outside Sikes Hall. This became what is known as the Sikes Sit In. Among their list of demands was as follows: "We want 'Diversity' included as a Clemson University core value, starting with a 'diversity'/university history component added to the CU1000 course." Four years later, the university has made no tangible progress on this grievance. Now is a time when Clemson can be on the right side of history. Dr. Rhondda Thomas, the Calhoun Lemon Professor of Literature, has done tremendous work on uncovering the side of Clemson's history that nobody talks about. Her work, Call My Name, can be found here: https://spark.adobe.com/page/wQoPG/ Dr. A.D. Carson also started a movement during his time at Clemson called See The Stripes, where he states: "While The Tiger could be seen as 'Solid Orange' a solid orange tiger could not survive without its stripes. Similarly, Clemson University’s history has its dark parts that should be acknowledged—parti

|Memorial Day Remembrance| Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist's soul and explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit. First and foremost today, Monday in the United States, we are celebrating Memorial Day in memory of all those who have gone before us.

Monday night was the first night of the Presidential debates. After it ended, people called and texted me asking: Who do you think won? I always find that to be a very difficult question to answer. Maybe because I’m jaded. While I believe in our democracy and processes, I struggle with how we engage in the conversations in them. No one wins when it is about bantering back and forth about who is right and who is wrong – leaving meaningful discourse out of the picture. We see this ineffective tactic wreak havoc in organizations, in teams, and in families all around the world. And leaders around the world are paying the highest prices, because of it. So I guess when it comes down to it, I want so share that debates are NOT fierce conversations. This may be surprising for some people. When many people think of fierce, they think of fierce like a tiger, or aggressive, or not so positive. And that’s not what we mean. The simplest definition of a fierce conversation is one in which we come out from behind ourselves,

DHRUWA CHARITAM (From Narayaneeyam) Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri (1559-1632) was the celebrated author of Narayaneeyam, a devotional composition in Sanskrit verse which is a masterly summary of the main episodes in Srimad Bhagavatam. He was a scholar in the Sanskrit Language and its grammar on which he wrote his masterpiece Prakriya-sarvaswam which sets forth an axiomatic system elaborating on the classical system of Panini the grammarian. Narayana Bhattathiri was born in a Namboodiri family of Kerala. He was a disciple of Achyuta Pisharati from whom he studied Sanskrit grammar. As a student he also studied the Rig Veda and Tarka Sastra (the science of logical reasoning and argument). Bhattathiri was struck with paralysis when he was still young. The disease was painful and Ezhuthachan the author of Adhyatma Ramayana advised Bhattathiri “meen thottu koottuka” which in Malayalam meant ‘take fish as food’ or ‘start counting from fish’. It was obvious that the erudite Ezhuthachan would not have advised Bhattat

The assignment is to write an essay upon a philosopher that was not discussed in this course. I want you to find a historic philosopher whom you find interesting and summarize their philosophical view or a finer point of their philosophy. Do you agree with this philosopher? Why or why not?

February 5, 2020 Mental Health Benefits of Camping for Veterans Mental health issues have afflicted many members of our armed forces while in the course of serving our country. While most of us were sheltered from the brutalities of war, these brave men and women were sent to foreign war zones and constantly faced the threat of death. They engaged the enemy in combat, watched their comrades get injured or killed, suffered injuries themselves, and witnessed carnages and brutalities that continue to haunt them even now. These challenges, coupled with long periods of separation from their families, loss of control, and a sense of uncertainty about what the future holds, have left our nation’s heroes broken—in their minds, bodies, and spirits. Did you know that as many as two million veterans are struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? In fact, about half of them have either dropped out of formal treatment or are not interested in seeking treatment at all. These numbers have led to the growth of al

It is estimated that one million women have left the workplace due to struggling with menopause symptoms. Many others reduce their hours or pass up promotions. Despite those over the age of 51 being the fastest growing demographic in the workplace, evidence shows that support can be lacking due to menopause being viewed as a taboo subject. Our Menopause Workplace Pledge aims to tackle this issue and ensure all working women receive the support they need and deserve. So far, 1,000 employers have signed the pledge, including Tesco, AstraZeneca, the BBC, Santander, HSBC, ASOS, Royal Mail, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and London Zoo. The Civil Service, House of Commons and NHS England have committed too. Many are implementing initiatives that will positively support millions of UK employees. More widely, we have achieved widespread media coverage and conversations around menopause in the workplace in the press have increased across social media.

The minister giving the eulogy had been at hundreds of funerals and said he had never seen anything quite like this: The church in Sturgeon Bay was overflowing with people for the memorial service that Saturday morning. It was even more amazing because some folks had already come by to pay their respects at the visitation the night before. Many called him “Uncle” Tony. Others knew him as Santa Claus. Whatever you called him, it seemed as if everyone in town knew him. Tony Haen died on April 9, 2019, in his 64th year of life. By most of the materialistic measures we use to gauge success, his was an ordinary life. Yet our response to losing him demonstrated that there was something quite extraordinary about his existence. The bestselling author and New York Times columnist David Brooks writes about the difference between “résumé virtues” and “eulogy virtues.” Tony’s résumé listed him as a skilled carpenter, a reasonably successful businessman who owned a small construction company that bore his name, and a resp

There’s no doubt that being a mum means you probably feel very run down every now and again. No doubt, you’re running your home, possibly working too and you’re looking after the kids! You might even find that your husband or partner is another kid that needs looking after. You’re a superhero! Yes, your days are ridiculously full and you don’t have time to get ill. Long gone are the days you could take time off from work to sit on your sofa eating chocolates and watching the television. Who will cook dinner? Or wash the clothes? Who will take the children to school? It’s you of course, so you possibly need some great supplements to add to your diet to keep you fit, healthy and ready to roll! Not a Meal Replacement Now, it’s wise to bear in mind that supplements are not a meal replacement. It’s vital that you enjoy a healthy diet with a good balance of protein, carbs and good fats. Eating well means you will automatically get all those vitamins and minerals needed to stay fit. However, most mums don’t really e

Acceptance in human psychology is a person’s assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. The concept is close in meaning to acquiescence, derived from the Latin acquiēscere (to find rest in). The more you learn to rest inside a world full of acceptance the better your life will be… I promise you, that I do understand that some people think all this ‘acceptance’ and ‘well-being’ stuff is a little bit pointless, but there really is a massive point to them, especially when you suffer from BPD. A lot of the darkness of BPD comes from all the self-hate and past regrets people have in l

The giant 64-kilometre-long Russian convoy of tanks and armoured vehicles carrying an estimated 15,000 soldiers is slowly closing in on Kyiv, as Moscow stepped up bloody and deadly attacks on crowded areas in Ukraine. Tracked by satellite images, the snaking convoy has been slowed by logistical issues, according to a senior US defence official. Currently 28 kilometres north of Kyiv, the convoy has been hampered by fuel and food shortages, the official told US media outlet NPR. It is believed the column of hundreds of tanks, towed artillery, armoured and logistical vehicles has been ordered towards Kyiv to try and occupy the Ukrainian capital. The convoy, which sometimes spans three lanes wide and covers the entire road, has travelled south from Belarus, Russia's strategic ally to Ukraine's north. For weeks prior to the invasion, Russia amassed its forces in Belarus. Hundreds of Russian military vehicles, aircraft and helicopters were moved to the former Soviet state to participate in what the two allies descr

Superb Falesia in Cismon del Grappa.

Screens and our teens - whether it’s computer, mobile, tablet or tv - it’s a symbol of our modern age, but what is the affect on their sleep and wellbeing? There is no doubt our children are ‘digital natives’, who have grown up surrounded by digital information and entertainment on screens. With this comes a lot of talk around what affect this has on their well-being and sleep. The answer is not black and white. Research from the UK, USA and Australia doesn’t draw a direct link between screen time and lack of sleep, BUT, the indirect links absolutely do. Read on. First, let’s start with SLEEP. The recommended amount of sleep for teens is between 8 and 10 hours every night. Survey data from Resilient Youth in 2016/2017 shows 48% of year 7 to 12 students self report that they are not getting at least 8 hours sleep each night. And 68% of year 7 to 12 students report using technology between 10pm and 6am. YES that’s right, between 10pm and 6pm. That may have something to do with those missing sleep hours? Not get

End ‘inaction’ on expansion of UN Security Council, says India India has lashed out at the continued “inaction” on the question of reforms to expand the UN Security Council and said the present body is “lacking legitimacy and accountability”. More than 10 years after the launch of the Intergovernmental Negotiations reform in the UNSC to make it more representative of a world that is far different from the time the world body was created in 1945, the process has yielded not even a document of proposals — called a “text” — for discussions. “This inaction on our part is not without cost,” Syed Akbaruddin, India’s permanent representative to the UN, said at a UN discussion Monday. “The Security Council is being called upon to address increasingly complex issues of international peace and security. Yet, it finds itself unable to act credibly or even effectively, for it is lacking legitimacy and accountability.” India has been pushing for reforms to expand the Security Council, both the permanent and non-permanent

German Classes Study MLK’s Visit to a Divided Berlin February 20, 2019 — The Georgetown College Department of German is participating in Georgetown’s MLK Initiative with a department- wide celebration of an often-overlooked trip Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took to Berlin on September 13, 1964. MLK IN BERLIN Already an internationally famous figure by 1964, King visited West Berlin on the invite of Social Democratic leader Willy Brandt, appearing at a memorial service for John F. Kennedy and at a rally before a crowd of 20,000. He spoke out against the newly constructed Berlin Wall, calling it “a symbol of the divisions of mankind on the face of the Earth.” The same day King visited, a man named Michael Meyer attempted an unauthorized escape from East Germany. He made it to the Western side of the city but was shot by East German guards, suffering serious injury but surviving. After his speech, King requested to visit the spot where Meyer was shot. King also received an invitation from East German pastor Heinric

NASA will be testing an underwater rover in Antarctica that will operate upside down under the sea ice. The Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration (BRUIE) is being developed by engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for underwater exploration of extraterrestrial oceans. BRUIE will help in searching for life under icy surfaces of celestial bodies like Europa and Enceladus. The two moons of Jupiter and Saturn respectively are thought to have oceans under their frozen surfaces. Kevin Hand, JPL lead scientist on the BRUIE project explained, "The ice shells covering these distant oceans serve as a window into the oceans below, and the chemistry of the ice could help feed the life within those oceans. Here on Earth, the ice covering our polar oceans serves a similar role, and our team is particularly interested in what is happening where the water meets the ice." BRUIE is a meter long buoyant rover with two wheels that helps it move along under the layer of ice. It can capture images and data at the ice-wat

Matthew Bell, Director in Frontier’s Public Policy Practice, today provided an instant reaction to Dieter Helm’s eagerly anticipated review of UK energy costs. Matthew was formerly Chief Executive of the UK Committee on Climate Change. His reaction focuses on how the review handles climate issues. The ‘Cost of Energy Review’ was commissioned following concerns in the UK that energy costs were unnecessarily high for both businesses and consumers. There is some debate about the causes of high energy costs and their impacts, with some people focusing on whether policies to lower greenhouse gas emissions are to blame. The review makes a series of headline-grabbing recommendations: substituting much low-carbon policy with a uniform carbon tax and border tariff adjustments; and fundamental changes to how wholesale power markets work and energy networks are regulated. However, digging into the detail, Matthew argues that in practice the changes that Helm is recommending are more pragmatic and unlikely to be as drama

The House GOP’ is trying to stop the Pentagon from thinking about climate change. Here’s why it won’t work. The military considers climate change to be a threat to national security. Naturally, that’s news that the House Republicans would like to suppress. Last week, they tried to do something about it with an appropriations rider. Luckily, the amendment is so poorly drafted that it would accomplish almost nothing. Here’s the language of the amendment: None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used to implement the U.S. Global Change Research Program National Climate Assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report, the United Nation’s Agenda 21 sustainable development plan, or the May 2013 Technical Update of the Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact Analysis Under Executive Order 12866. Why won’t this stop the Pentagon from planning for the effects of climate change on national security? Let’s take a close look at

November 30, 2007 By: Brian Dickerson Nov. 30–In the 17th Century, Londoners traced the course of the Black Plague by reading bills of mortality posted in the city’s public thoroughfares. In 2007, metro Detroiters are consulting the Internet to find out whether the 21st Century pestilence known as foreclosure has infected their neighborhoods, their streets or their cul-de-sacs. For most of the last week, the top two destinations on the Free Press Web site have been a pair of searchable databases where readers can peruse the burgeoning roster of foreclosure actions in Wayne and Oakland counties. Even if you are among the fortunate few who can walk your dog without coming face-to-face with the contagion, you probably certainly know someone (or some home) who has succumbed to it. I’ve resided on three streets since moving here 19 years ago. A cursory search disclosed foreclosures on all of them. When I expanded my search to the surrounding neighborhoods, the number of affected homes tripled or quadrupled. No hom

A Pershing Middle School 8th grader is among four Houston Independent School District students are among the winners of the 2009 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.

Mirror sculptures by Graham Caldwell - Esther Jablotschkin Brooklyn based artist Graham Caldwell creates surfaces marked by crumpled and stretched distortions. Like seen in his latest works ‘Compound Eye’ and ‘Before After’ he mostly uses blown glass, steel, epoxy, mirrors, and other materials to create these otherworldly sculptures.+ Read More His practice is concerned with the elasticity of sight, and the way visual perception constructs and distorts the immediate external world. Graham Caldwell is interested in the historic and intrinsic association between glass and the act of looking, from the early lenses that allowed glimpses into the microscopic world, to the eyeglasses, ubiquitous windows, and mirrors inside telescopes that let us peer into space. ‘Much of my work focuses on glass as a conduit or modulating agent for light and its parallel in the functionality of the human eye: using a lens to flip an image of the world, upside down and backwards, into the brain where it is reassembled, through illus

It has taken ten years of cheap politics and bad policy decisions to deliver Australians high energy prices, high greenhouse gas emissions and low levels of reliability. Rather than listen to scientists, engineers or economists Australia’s energy policy has been shaped by lobbyists, political strategists and shock jocks. It’s hard to see how things went wrong. [This article was first published by the Australian Financial Review – here] The arm-chair engineers in the Australian commentariat haven’t made things easy. Rather than admit that new technology has created room for new solutions, the idea that coal and gas are ‘cheap and reliable’ and renewables are ‘expensive and unreliable’ has been as enduring in our public debate as it is unrelated to the evidence. Take Queensland for example. Queensland has extracted more Coal Seam Gas than every other state and has less wind power than any other state but it’s electricity and gas prices are still among the highest in the country. Whoops. Let’s not talk about tha

|Number of plants found: 28||Prev||Next||Go to page:||1||2||3| Begonia maculata is an upright cane-type with large, dark green leaves that look like bat wings with pronounced silver dots. Keep the soil moist. Needs humidity to thrive. Begonia nigritarum has green leaves spotted with silver and has whiskers around the edges. Be careful no to over water to avoid rotting. An elegant tropical perennial, sweet begonia is has glossy, succulent leaves and graceful pendulous white flowers that offer a faint pleasant fragrance. It has a mounding yet rambling habit and is one of the few begonias that can tolerate full sunlight. Plant in mass plantings to brighten up a shady area or include it in a mixed border or collection of shade plants. This is a group of rhizomatous cultivars grown for their multicolored foliage. They are derived from the Himalayan Begonia rex and some related Asian species. The dwarf, shrubby begonias of this group are often grown as bedding annuals, or for borders in shaded garedns, and are also

Hahira, Georgia, April 5, 2022 — Trying to protect clean water with current laws and regulations is like trying to defend free speech without the First Amendment. Montana, Pennsylvania, and just last year New York have enshrined Rights to Clean Water, Air, Land, and a Healthy Environment (RTCW) in their constitutions alongside free speech and other basic rights. Florida has a statewide petition signing right now for the 2024 ballot. How can Georgia get RTCW into its constitution? Why should it? And what would such an amendment consist of? This webinar explores those questions. We invite your participation and feedback. The zoom meeting will be Tuesday, April 19, 2022, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

What is Adaptive Authentication? Adaptive Authentication: Why Should You Care? Before going into what adaptive authentication is I want to answer why you should care first. In today’s IT world, relying on a simple username and password authentication is not enough to protect critical business data and systems against the growing number of sophisticated cyber attacks. Just do a quick search online to get an idea of how expensive a hack can be and how sophisticated attacks have become. That ever- growing number of compromised enterprises is clearly asking for systems that do not allow access to business applications and data with a simple username and password login. For a long time now, there have been mechanisms that IT can use to protect against such “simple” break-ins. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the name of the game. MFA gives you the ability to protect access to your enterprise information. With MFA, users must provide at least two “factors” when they access applications, networks, and resources.

pvc (polyvinylchloride) is the oldest and probably the most widely used of all plastics. A rigid plastic, it is usually grey in colour, but is also available in red or black. pvc has a very high resistance to many chemicals including concentrated acids, alkalis and alcohols. Its excellent mechanical strength and ease of machining also make pvc an exceptionally useful plastic for pipe fittings and components where chemicals are used in industry. It can be milled, turned, drilled and tapped with ease. Moisture absorption is low at 0.2% and pvc has good electrical insulating properties. One of the most useful properties of pvc is its solvent cementability. The same solvent cement that is used for pvc plumbing is just as effective on components manufactured from rigid pvc. It can also be bonded to other substrates using a general purpose epoxy resin. pvc is available in a wide range of rods, tubes, sheets and profiles. Rods up to 150mmø are physiologically inert and suitable for food contact. Temperature range: -

International Glocalities Research Highlights Significant Societal Distrust in the World Economic Forum On May 22-26 the 2022 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is held in the Swiss town Davos. This will be the first global in-person leadership event since the beginning of the pandemic bringing together nearly 2,500 leaders and experts in politics, business, civil society, and media from around the world. The topics that will be discussed among others include securing economic recovery, fostering global and regional cooperation, safeguarding climate, food, and nature, and driving industry transformation. Given the global issues that have arisen during the last years, rebuilding trust will play a central role in the discussions of the 2022 forum. But how does the international general public perceive the World Economic Forum and how much trust do they have in it? This is the question that Glocalities, an international research agency, answers with the use of its 7th annual wave surveying 25 countries a

Wouldn’t it be good if water had one set of properties when we want to drink it but a different set of properties when a person was drowning? This is a question posed by C. Stephen Evans in Why Christian Faith Still Makes Sense: A Response to Contemporary Challenges (p 70). It raises an important consideration when thinking about why God permits evil and suffering. Evans astutely observes that “it is far from obvious that a world without natural laws would be a better world than ours” (p 70) and rightly insists that our epistemic limitations for “universe making” are so great that we can never know how our situation might improve. In fact, if just one law was altered so as to prevent evil and suffering, we could hardly know the effect of that change upon an entire system of laws that “form an interconnected whole” (p 71). The sheer magnitude of epistemic difference between a parent and child is sufficient to grasp this principle. A parent who knows the dangers of potentially life-threatening diseases vaccinat

Understanding the role of hormones in seizure activity was a game-changer for me. Estrogen‘s role in seizures is profound, and the effectiveness of a pro-thyroid diet, natural progesterone, and ridding of excess estrogen and increased cortisol are foundational to reducing seizure activity. “Seizures are known to be promoted by estrogen, by unsaturated fats, and by lipid peroxidation, and to cause an increase in the size of the free fatty acid pool in the brain. Prolonged seizures cause nerve damage in certain areas, especially the hippocampus, thalamus, and neocortex (Siesjo, et al., 1989). Dementia is known to be produced by prolonged seizures.” -Ray Peat, PhD “If progesterone’s antiepileptic effectiveness were not enough (and it is very effective even in irrational pharmaceutical formulations), the fact that it reduces birth defects, and promotes brain development and nerve repair should assure its general use in women with a history of seizures, until it is established that they are no longer “epileptic.”

The exhibition Letter from the Unknown by artist Angela Valella examines what might be referred to as arcane or archaic modes of communication and technologies. It comprises a collection of first found written literary work and drawings by a writer whose work was never published together with the artist sculptures, installation, collages and video. Letter from Unknown (Woman) is a 1922 novel by Stephan Sweig that was the basis of the 1948 movie by the same name. This exhibition explores the encounter between written text and the digital age-of forms of that represent a material desire for the past and our present means of communication.
